    I dig on the way that they auto-rotate (I still have a problem with them popping off every once in a while).

    Ater Beta and Kultur are both pretty fun to transform.

    Most fun I have would be Planet X Jupiter.

    Most painful MP-36. I feel like I won a Olympic event transforming him. Second place for most painful is BMB LS-03

    The best for me is a tie between siege hound and classics mirage.
    The Worst is that impossible toys tetrajet thundercracker. There's all kinds of small shit that feels fragile, everything gets in the way of other parts, and there's a tab that slots into the nosecone that is easily broken. (Guess how I found out?) Second worst is arguably studio series shadow raider. His parts like to pop off every time I move them to transform him. Nothing wants to tab in, and it feels like it hates you for trying force it to. I wondered if was just that figure, but I got two for Christmas. It's transformation was just as bad.

    I'd say MP-28 Hotrod or Fansproject Chromedome is the most fun to transform.

    I transformed XTB Windcharger to robot mode. Then I attempted to transform it back to car mode. Was at the feet... Then went back to robot mode.

    DX9 Carry and MakeToys Despotron both are clever and intuitive and make me happy.

    I have to say I dont really enjoy transforming he MPs. Official or otherwise....I am clumsy by nature and I have this fear of breaking them, no matter how sturdy...That said, I do enjoy a good looking altmode and Ill Transform them from time to time.

    I think Wheeljack, Azaela and Terror(Carry) are my votes.

    I don't like transforming anything tbh, but I enjoyed transforming TFC Wildhunter from alt to robot and then to his torso mode at least once!

    I hated transforming Quietus... I was so afraid of scratching the paint...

    Good
    DX9 Carry
    FT Phoenix
    FT Soar
    FT Stomp
    FT Grinder
    Magic Square Prime
    Unique toys Lockdown
    DX9 Powerglide
    XTB Toro


    Bad
    FT Forager - I prefer my bots made of plastic and not auto exploding polystyrene
    FT Apache - those twatty feet
    FT Rouge - single small swivel between upper and lower half....
    KFC octane - just messy


    Amazing how the same company is at the very top yet also at the very very bottom

    RID Bumblebee 3 step changer (no really it is)
    As for 3rd party many of them tend to be leaning towards the "not fun" end of fiddly

    Best : FansProject Code & Smart Robin. Clever, intuitive, effective and rock solid.

    Worst : original MP Megatron (too fiddly and fragile), AlienAttack El Cid (WAY too complex, fragile, things weren't tabbing/getting aligned right... Gigantic failure), FansToys Apache, Hydra and Koot (I love their looks but their transformations are the less intuitive and the most uselessly complicated I've ever encountered)

    Big Spring is a lot of fun to flip around.

    XTB Scourges feet were a nightmare. I finally resorted to removing his toes for transformation.

    Dinobot. It’s cool and gross to turn him inside out.
    UT Lockdown. Smooth, beautiful transformation. Doesn’t hurt that he switches between (arguably) most badass robot and most badass car, either.

    MMC Drift/Wing mold, for Chug. Solid and satisfying figures in all aspects.

    As for Legends/Deluxe, these are the ones I transform often, by request from the kids. POTP Slash and the IF seekers are simple but nice.
